The scientific context of the COST Action MP1105 FLARETEX is concerned with the replacement of existing flame retardants with sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives for textiles and related materials through the development of new innovative flame retardants with low fire toxicity and environmental impacts and halogen-free. The main aim of the memorandum of understanding (MoU) is to form a European multidisciplinary Knowledge Platform on Sustainable Flame Retardancy to facilitate the rapid development of fire safe textiles and related materials of low toxicity and ecotoxicity, using existing and novel technologies.
